These are those epic masterpieces and timeless classics that must not be missed. No matter what.

4.75/5

9.5/10

Here we have those games that are polished, highly enjoyable and will appeal to pretty much everybody. These are highly recommended games that should not be ignored.

These games are enjoyable and certainly have an audience, but are not for everybody. They are either high potential games that have one or two major flaws or average games that offer enough to ascend above mediocrity. They can offer entertainment, but approach with caution.

Unfortunately, something went wrong here. These games are flawed and will only appeal to die-hard fans of the genre.

These games stink, so don't go near them. The developers tried, but the end product is too messy to be enjoyed. Back to the drawing board, guys.

Every now and then, there are games released that are so broken, frustrating, ugly and flawed, they deserve to follow only one route: from the budget bin to the garbage bin.
